Sure thing, I will be 100% direct:

Deadlock is third person (over the shoulder). Dota is third person (3D rendered top-down). These two forms of camera are named after the literary convention of third person narration in literature. Literary third person, like gaming third person, comes in a variety of forms, typically characterised by the level of omniscience of the narrator. You and WereCat are using third person as a shorthand for over the shoulder because you have poor critical thinking skills and prefer to mindlessly repeat the words you've heard other use. Other people typically use third person in video games to refer to shooters, contrasting it with first person. There are no isometric shooters, unless you count bullet hells. While isometric games are also third person, people typically choose the shorter name of isometric when applicable for convenience. The Wernicke's area of your brain has therefore decided that isometric games are not third person, because it works on correlations, not on logic. You neglected to use your conscious powers of logic to question your assumptions, because you're lazy.

That's not a number. If you have an alternative to third person, phrase it as a number.

Dota is third person too

What billionaires? In anarchy if someone tries to hoard wealth, we all show up at their house with baseball bats.

It's just a scar, don't be rude

You can be a Christian and still believe in other gods. Those people chose to deny the emperor's kintype, if they really did so at all.

If you really want to scare players, throw a gazebo at them

New Hampshire Smash

16 year old who wouldn't date or sex anyone. One of his suitors prayed to the gods that he should love what he cannot have. Nemesis curses him to fall in love with his reflection. He starves to death staring at a pond.

You want to say the child who wouldn't date anyone is the abuser in that situation and not the asshole who tried to rizz a child and prayed for divine intervention when it didn't work?

It is often comorbid with other mental disorders and associated with significant functional impairment and psychosocial disability.[1]

It's a disability.

I didn't say bondage was invalid. I said bondage without proper safety measures is invalid.

The woman was left to give birth alone. She had to self administer an epidural in secret. This shit ain't vanilla!

Music follows predictable rythms.

Well, I made a novel point, and I accounted for the possibility of husbands who were good people and who didn't beat their wives. And then you promptly ignored me and made the same point again while pretending I made a different point than the one I made. If you don't want a circle, don't do one. I told you, history isn't all black eyes. You seem to have just completely pretended I didn't say that.

Traditional gender roles are abusive 100% of the time. Now, if your transfemme polycule wants to play out a Stepford Wives kink fantasy (I am citing my own ex's fetish), then that's fine. That can be consensual. But if you're talking about actual tradition, the actual relationships of the past, that shit is abusive no matter what.

We are talking about a system where you can't divorce your husband if he beats you. Spousal rape isn't real rape. Abortion is illegal. No painkillers during birth. No birth control. Women being sold off to other families. Treated as possessions. You can't have a system of slavery and say that isn't abusive. There are no good slaveowners. And there are no good traditional husbands. Many men of 100 years ago were good people who meant well and did their best to do well. But the system they lived in was innately abusive. For all the kindness and decency they gave their wives, they could not give their wives the freedom to choose another life. And that lack of freedom is abuse. Often not the husband's fault, because he lived in a society where he was expected to behave that way.

But today, we have moved beyond those norms. So if a husband wants to go back to that old system and own his wife, then it is his fault. He is an abuser, no matter how kind or gentle. There is a way to make the appearance of a traditional relationship work as a kink. A way to ensure enthusiastic consent. There's roleplay to be done. But it won't actually be a traditional marriage. The people advocating actual traditional marriages, they want the abuse.

In maths, you have two kinds of relationship between expressions. An equation is when they're the same. A comparison is when they're different.

You're saying I compared BDSM and traditional gender roles, but I didn't. I equated them. I said they're the same. The patriarchy is a system of sexual domination. It's a fetish.

You said not to compare BDSM and traditional gender roles, but I'll ignore you and do it anyway now. What's different about the two is that BDSM is supposed to be done with safe practices to ensure consent, and most people know it. Traditional gender roles have no safe practices. Nobody checks if the wife consents.

Traditional gender roles should be equal to BDSM. We should only be able to make equations between the two. We should not be able to compare them and say they're different. We should be calling this "tradwife" meme a fetish, and pressuring the people who engage in it to practice safe consensual sex.

Plus, you know, equating tradwife bullshit with lefty deviancy is really gonna piss off some conservatives, and that's worth doing all on its own.

There is something wrong with a traditional gender role life. Traditional gender roles are misogynist. Now, sure, a grown woman can consent to a BSDM lifestyle with her husband, that's fine. But you do not involve your kids in that shit.

Traditional gender roles are bondage. They are. And if you have a relationship that practices BDSM as a lifestyle, you need to follow modern consent practices. Conservatives want to talk about kink at pride? Grooming children? That's what this is. This is grooming. This is exposing children to your fetish and telling them it's the lord's plan for them.

Israel helped Hamas gain power intentionally. Defending Hamas is defending Israel, just as defending Israel is defending Hamas.
